151. See that death shroud?
The whistling airborne chamber tore through the dry air of the vast ore star, the flames enveloped the steel, the luster flashed through the scythe, and death descended with them.
In the small space that shook violently, Hades sat silently in his seat, and the obituary lay quietly in his hands.
He will be one of the first Death Guards to land, following the main airborne unit of the Iron Warriors to the rear of 03.
Due to the disagreement between Motarian and Perturabo, Perturabo resolutely finalized the Iron Warriors as the first wave of ground landing forces.
The Lord of Steel believed that the Pale King was provoking him, so he sent his Steelworks as the vanguard to spearhead the troops.
Motarian, on the other hand, did not receive Peturabo's point at all, and Motarian simply chose the wave of airborne positions that he could come to the fastest.
Due to the persuasion of the other Death Guards, Motarian abandoned his plan to land as the first Death Guard, and instead landed after the Death Guards had landed in a wave and mastered the local terrain.
Hades remembered that several Death Guards had approached him, hoping that he would persuade Motarian not to rush too fast.
At that time, in the Battle of Galaspa, the picture of the original body abandoning the army and directly charging into the enemy army was still too impactful for the death guards.
For the legion, the symbolism of the original body is greater than the ability to fight alone, so Motarian was decisively persuaded to come down.
And following the airdrop of the Iron Warriors, the death guards of the first wave of airdrops were naturally handed over to Hades to lead the team.
βBANGοΌβ
After a brief and violent shaking, the air hissed into the cabin, the blinding sunlight and wind and sand tore in, the blade unsheathed, and the bullet loaded.
Hades strode out of the airborne chamber and commanded the first Death Guards to join the battlefield in the channel.
[The first team of the Death Guard has all reached the target point.] γ
A hissing rang out in the public communication channel, and Hades said to Dantiok, the commander of the Iron Warriors,
Realizing that the first batch of reinforcements had arrived, Dantiok breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as the first person to land to open up a landing site, he was under a lot of pressure.
Perturabo gave him only enough men to occupy the landing site.
And with the addition of the Death Guards, who were obviously more numerous than the Iron Warriors, they immediately shared a lot of pressure on the Iron Warriors.
Flames erupt from the muzzle of the Death Guard.
Somewhat surprised, Dantiok realized that the white-green warriors had joined the battle line in silence and stood side by side in the makeshift trenches of the Iron Warriors, making no noise from the death guards except for the sound of gunfire and dull footsteps.
The occasional sound of electricity in the channel reminds the Iron Warriors that the Death Guards have opened a public communication channel.
But. No sound.
Only when necessary will a short message be passed within the Death Guard, reminding the Iron Warriors.
However, Hades, the commander of the Death Guard, was not as silent as most of the Death Guards, and a clear High Gothic voice rang out in the channel, reporting on the current situation of the Death Guard, as well as information about the enemy.
[Well done, brothers. γ
Now let's take over the battlefield. γ
Hades' voice rang out.
[Okay.] γ
Dantiok simply agreed,
Originally, the main force of this landing battle was the Death Guard, but at the insistence of Perturabo, it became the first batch of Iron Warriors to land.
And the performance of the Iron Warriors led by Dantiok to take the airborne point after the first batch of landings is enough to prove their strength.
There was no need for them to continue dwelling, and compared to Perturabo, who didn't care about the number of casualties, Dantiok wanted every drop of blood to be valuable.
What's more. Dantiok remembered that when he was about to enter the airborne cabin, a brother who had just returned from Mars gave him a communication, in that short communication, the brother told him that he must befriend the death shroud Hades on the other side, and as long as he fought with the other party, he didn't have to worry about the run-in problem, because this death shroud. Good tempered?
Dantiok was surprised, according to the time when this brother returned from Mars, then this death guard named Hades climbed to the top of the death guard in a very short time after returning from Mars?!
No matter how you think about this kind of person, he will be an extremely brilliant warrior, but outsiders evaluate him as having a good temper?
Thinking of Hades's previous private communication to him, and Hades's report after that, Dantiok was more curious about this rather large death shroud.
And Hades is also quite competent, sharing the latest battlefield intelligence in a timely manner, directing the Death Guard to gradually replace the Iron Warriors, and his chosen tactics are also safe.
At present, the cooperation experience with Hades can be ranked in the top three of "Danteok wants to cooperate the most".
Hades' command has no personal feelings, no nonsense, is extremely information-dense, and the tactics chosen are also in line with Dantiok's preferences.
In cooperation with other legions, some commanders have a lot of words, and Dantyok doesn't like that very much.
What Dantiok didn't know was that Hades would also praise the Iron Warriors in the aftermath of the report, and if he knew this now, he would definitely put Hades at the top of the list of "Dantiok wants to work with the most".
The Death Guards began to advance slowly but surely, and the Iron Warriors, who had retreated from the front, began to build trenches.
Their current landing location was behind a hill behind the Space Necromantic Casting Group, and it was by relying on the terrain and a wave of aerial fire support before they landed that the Iron Warriors were able to establish themselves here.
Warriors who land here will need to break through between these tall blackstone buildings, find and attempt to destroy the shield system on the opposite side, and then call in a second wave of precision fire support.
Before they entered the complex, in Perturabo's calculations, the Iron Warriors' air units could provide them with a firepower bombardment, opening a gap for the Death Guards and the Iron Warriors in the dense density of necromantic infantry.
At the end of this bombardment, Motarian will land with a second wave of Death Guards and lead them to capture the target point.
But for now, Iron Warrior's Stormbirds were still in the air wrestling with the sickle-shaped aircraft, occasionally revealing their competing metal bodies in the sand.
After the Iron Warriors briefly gained air supremacy and covered the landing of the drop bay, the seats in the sky quickly changed hands.
Both sides are fiercely vying for air supremacy, and the side that successfully occupies air supremacy for half a standard hour can carry out a large-scale fire bombardment on the ground.
Therefore, the Imperial forces on the ground must have trenches to hide from the bombardment, and Dantyok commanded some of the Iron Warriors to start digging the trenches, while the other part of the Iron Warriors continued to fight.
The good news is that it won't be long before the Iron Warriors will once again dominate air supremacy.
On another battlefield, the Iron Warriors and Gree's Cathar are battling it out as they hold off the Space Necrons' main and armored units, while the Vanguard attempts to converge with the Airborne Forces to create a route for the Airborne Forces to evacuate.
[Melee Preparation!] Get on the sickle! γ
At present, most of the enemies faced by the Airborne Forces are still space necromantic infantry, and the best solution to the space necromantic infantry is melee combat.
Seeing that the number of space necrons who came to attack began to decrease, Hades decisively commanded some of the Death Guards to come out of the ranks, and rushed out of the trenches under the cover of the fire of the rest of the Death Guards, and met the enemy in close combat.
Hades didn't talk nonsense, he rushed out first with a scythe, his body that was originally taller than others was now extremely flexible, and the Seiko backpack behind him was spraying bullets and plasma beams, allowing Hades to easily block attacks from a distance.
The breath was long and steady, Hades turned to scythe and cut, metal clashed, tooth-sore sounds came and went, and the obituary touched the body of necromantic metal, splashing a burst of sparks.
The black domain is useless to them.
Hades observes the space necrons he has severed, but the stiff demeanor of the other party's machine-like body has already told him that such creatures have no soul.
Really.
Realizing this, Hades no longer wasted his brains on it, observing the battlefield while harvesting the enemy.
However, at the moment when Hades just came into contact with the space necromancer-
In the depths of the tomb, Gathros, who was talking to himself at this moment, suddenly looked up.
"As I said, in the end, of course, I will defeat him."
"Nas, you're wrong."
But Nas could no longer hear the king's words, and the space necrons he led were slowly floating in space at the moment.
The faint Star God Fragment information was cut off.
Nas looked at the probe and thought silently.
And the last place where this information exists is-
Under the protection of a group of Iron Warriors and Death Guardian ships, the Fourth Knight is preparing for the second airdrop.
